What this video covers
The crew of Oceanaire | Wik & Rox upgrades their water tank monitoring system by installing a pressure transducer sensor, which provides more accurate level readings than the boat's original factory-installed gauges.3:26 The installation involves drilling new through-hull fittings into the tank for the sensor and a water maker intake, then calibrating the sensor via a Victron GX display to show precise volume in liters.3:48 During coastal cruising in the Ionian Sea, the crew sails from Vasiliki to Sivota, then to Meganisi and Calamos.6:51 While navigating toward Patras, they encounter shallow water and shifting sandbanks near the river exit at Porto Scrova, requiring careful passage planning.16:13 The crew also attempts to repair a drone that fell overboard by cleaning the internal components and ordering a replacement circuit board.13:12 They ultimately divert to Mesolonghi due to light winds and the risk of arriving in Patras after dark.18:21 Pressure transducers offer significantly higher accuracy for monitoring fresh water and diesel levels compared to standard production tank sensors.6:41
